JayW Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Well, it cost me nuffin! He gave it to me and "if it's worth anything bung 'us a bit". Brand new Hankook AT's all round. New clutch, (relatively) tidy all round. Only obvious issue is a leaking injector seal... Cavcraft, mercedade, Vince70 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselnutjob Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I can't even imagine the most hard core LR enthusiast finding anything good to say about these. Why would anyone care what they think? holbeck, bigfella2, Cleon-Fonte and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Nice. Get that chrome shit off it and onto ebay for a hundred quid or so.Unless you are a bow-legged freak, that style of sill protector will leave a dirty patch on the inside of your trouser leg every time you get in or out. As above, get some bumper treatment on the plastics. They respond well to boiled linseed oil from the diy shop.

dome Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I reckon an early L series running on veg is the way I'd do one. The 1.8 K series feels like the wrong engine for one of these. Or an LPG'd V6. Great fun in the snow with a rear bias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayW Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Had a couple of decent drives now, after 30 miles or so I don't think it's a bad motor. Gave it a good clean too. It's comfortable enough and fairly pleasant to drive, though not particularly quick as one would expect. Once the revs are up, and the derv is going into the engine and not out through the seal it goes rather well. A slight knock on the nsf. Rear door doesn't open at the cable is shot on the window so it doesn't lower. Though there were no warning lamps initially, the three amigos are there now. However, it has been sat for 18 months aside from its last MOT so a wheel exciter is likely. Body is pretty tidy though the sill rears are just starting to bubble, though not breaking through. Trouble is, as much as I hate to get rid of a perfectly decent motor that I may one day have use for, I currently don't need it at all. I could just squirrel it away I suppose... Hmmmm...

Cavcraft Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Why would anyone care what they think? Because if anyone knows an awful car it's a Land/Rover enthusiast. Pillock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgeRover Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Diesel manuals export well, there's a company that collects them and converts to lhd then delivers back for about £700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Longbridge Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 My old boss had one of these. He was an utter bellend. Therefore I don't like them. £185 for a runner is win win either way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripped fred Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 A car that you got cheap but don't need and needs a few things fixing. Think we can all relate to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayW Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 So where will you be squirreling it then?Outside my big lockup for a few weeks until my little lockup is freed up! Though I may just sort the leaking injector, the three amigos and dodgy boot door, chuck some new wipers on it, waz it through a new test and punt it back out for whatever the going rate is!

Lacquer Peel Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The leaking injector may be a leak off pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayW Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 The leaking injector may be a leak off pipe.Nah, it's leaking from the seat. It's been changed (the old one's here) and it's either not done up properly or the seal's shot. Haven't checked which yet. Otherwise the engine's super mega wow blingin' for 150k...

dieselnutjob Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 The three Amigos come from (to the best of my knowledge) a Wabco D ABS ECU.I think it goes:-Launch to 99: Wabco D99 to 2001: Teves Mk202001 to 2005: Teves Mk25Funnily enough I bought a Wabco D ECU a couple of weeks ago and I am making decent progress at reverse engineering the diagnostics protocol at the moment.
